This multi-cache is set in the ancient market town of Romsey. It's a picturesque town with history at every turn. For those that want to know more about the town, then visit the Heritage & Visitor Centre opposite the Abbey.
The coordinates above are for a street where you can park free for an hour. You will also find that you are at a particularly nice watering hole where you can either start or end this cache.
You can also park in any of the towns car parks as you will still be within reach of all of the clues. Parking is free after 4pm but there are also spaces available for up to 1 hour on various roads.
